Invasion of America….
The Obama Administration’s immigration policy is luring illegal migrants from Central America and Mexico to our Southern border where the ability to detain them has collapsed.
Somehow the migrants have confused the ‘unaccompanied minor’ policy (where the kids traveling alone are treated as refugees) and now mothers with little kids think they are free to come as well.
I think that Obama is quite happy with the situation as he speeds up the revolution. After all, his time is running out to fundamentally transform America.

REYNOSA, Tamaulipas —
The 27-year-old Honduran woman is desperate to know if the rumor is true: that she’ll be allowed to stay in the United States because she is traveling with her 2-year-old daughter.
At a shelter for migrants in Reynosa across the border from McAllen, Jennys Aguilar Cardenas and other women have heard about mothers being released with their babies, about children being reunited with relatives in the U.S. Like a game of telephone, the word has spread, giving hope to an apparently growing number of migrants willing to risk the dangerous crossing — with their young children — to escape intense poverty and crime at home.
US adding incentives to make the move now:
The spike in migrant detentions comes as Obama is under pressure both to reform immigration laws and to do more to stop illegal entries. Republican lawmakers have suggested the rise in child migrants is a result of lax enforcement. The Border Patrol acknowledges there is a problem in families being released, with its deputy chief, Ronald Vitiello, noting in a May 30 draft memo that such actions are “incentives to additional individuals to follow the same path.”
Spreading by word of mouth:
Ana Bulnes, the Honduran consul for South Texas, said Wednesday it is hard to discourage families from making the trip when U.S. authorities, in fact, are releasing them — sometimes dropping them off at bus stations in Texas and Arizona.
The rumors are spreading by word of mouth, not through any mass media channels such as radio that can be monitored, she said.
“The people who are able to enter are those who send the message back,’” Bulnes said.
About the photo: On May 30th, the Honduran government opened a new consulate in McAllen Texas. Bulnes is celebrating with champagne. The timing couldn’t be better.
